Checkpoint The Price of a Set Signal

[lm1994]

Does anybody know how to checkpoint the price of a signal once it has been set.

For example, I have a signal which will activate should the most recent back bet matched be above a certain amount.

I would like to repeat this rule and have a similar signal set a second time, but I only want this to occur at a price below where the previous signal was set.

Thanks for your help

Use stored values to store the price, then a stored value condition to test if that price is breached or not

The .baf files in these examples might help, they all trigger when a new high/low is set for each selection so there conditions etc should be along the lines of what you need

Thanks Dallas, very helpful as always!

I thought this would be the way to go about it.

How would I go about setting a stored value at the price the signal was set at.

It’s probably pretty simple to do but I cant find a way of doing it.

Once I’ve got that I understand what to do with the stored value condition.

Thanks

Is the signal being set as part of your back/lay bet rule?
If so is the bet being placed at the best price or offered at another price a few ticks away?

Yeah the signal will be a condition on the back bet rule, along with the second signal at the lower price, and the bet will trigger at the best back price

Yeah the signal will be a condition on the back bet rule, along with the second signal at the lower price, and the bet will trigger at the best back price

So on that back bet rule, go onto the Stored Value tab and stored a value (give it any name ie, new_high)
and store the best back price

Then you can add a stored value condition to that rule (if that one is to be re-used)
and test the back price
is greater than the stored value
named 'new_high'

That rule can now only trigger and set your signal IF the back price is a new high price


You'll probably also need a 'Set/Modify' stored value' rule to trigger one time just before your existing rules are active
It just needs to store the initial values of the back price with the name 'new_high' (and new_low of the lay price if you are using that to)

Otherwise the stored value condition on your back bet rule can't be satisfied
